Tracey Lomrantz Lester is contributing style editor at Glamour, which means her lifelong obsession with high heels is now officially part of her job description. She regularly dishes about style on TV on behalf of the magazine and has appeared on the Today show, Good Morning America, Nightly News With Brian Williams, the Rachael Ray Show, Wendy Williams, and Access Hollywood. Tracey considers Katharine Hepburn, Slim Keith, and the Olsen twins her style icons.

You've already seen the chicness that was the fall 2013 Marc Jacobs collection...now check out the off-runway action that had me ready to copycat like, stat. Miley Cyrus sat front row in a look from his spring 2013 collection, and it was adorable as all get-out. Her outfit consisted of a cropped Mickey Mouse sweater (if it looks familiar, it's because Dakota Fanning wears it on our March cover!), a mod red and white striped skirt, a black and white geometric-print clutch, and a bold red lip to tie the whole thing together. Is it just me, or is this about the cutest thing you've ever seen? If the whole idea of a crop top intimidates you (um yeah, my abs look as much like hers as my haircut does...), try a toned-down version with a regular sweatshirt and striped jeans. What do you think, dolls? Are you totally into Single White Female-ing Miley's outfit, like we are? Discuss! Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Entertainment read more

Looks like post-Zoe life for Brad Goreski just keeps getting better--he's got A-list clients like Jessica Alba, recently styled the too-cute Kate Spade presentation, and now, he has a deal with Old Navy that has him dishing up style advice for your spring wardrobe. Check out his first video in an upcoming series of five, where he lends his expertise to denim essentials (hoodies, T-shirts, and dresses are on the way): What do you dolls think of Brad's advice? Are you a fan of his work? Share! read more

Where do I even begin, dolls? When I logged in to write this, my goodbye-to-Glamour.com post, our system notified me that I've created 5,799 entries over the past four and a half years. That's a lot of Fashion Faceoffs, you guys, and not a single one of them would have been worth it without you, the most inspiring, hilarious, warm and welcoming readers of, well...ever. In the time since I started writing here (remember my first-ever post?), I've lived in three different apartments, had about four different boyfriends, re-met my now-husband, welcomed a niece and a nephew, chopped all my hair off, got engaged, and got married. The only comfortable constant in my tornado of a life has been sitting down in front of my MacBook every single day to make good clean fun of reality stars' wardrobe malfunctions and wax poetic about high heels (but for real, have you seen these babies?!). Glamour.com has been home for me, and all of you, my lovely neighbors. Being on-air with Robin Roberts at Good Morning America, AKA one of the coolest moments of my career. I've had the good fortune to do things in this job I never could have dreamed read more

With all due respect to sky-high stilettos, sometimes a girl wants to look cool as hell and get from point A to B without breaking her neck. Enter the newest iteration of Nike's Dunk Sky Hi wedge (yep, they're sneakers with hidden wedges in the soles). This collection was based on the most fashionable cities on the planet (London, Paris, Milan, Tokyo, and our own stomping grounds, New York City), so what better place to test them out than the streets at New York Fashion Week? Here's how five different DRESSED editors took on this one piece. How cool are these kicks? Get yours at Nike Sportswear, 21 Mercer St. NYC "I wore a floral Sandro top with an A.P.C. coat," Amy says. "I wore the top because I woke up yesterday and just wanted a pop of color to fight the grey weather! The coat was a recent purchase and the oxblood color was complementary to the colors of the shirt." My style is always about the masculine-meets-feminine, so even in sneakers, I needed a dose of glam. That came courtesy of my vintage leopard coat; an Alexander Wang turtleneck, J. Brand jeans, and cheapie Forever 21 beanie finished read more

Back in October, the lovely Emily Blunt brought some serious sunshine to an awards show red carpet in this tangerine column gown by Alexander McQueen. She swept her hair back to let the jeweled neckline shine and added a black McQueen clutch to finish things off. Just last week, Katy Perry wore the same gown to the Musicares event, opting to keep things super-simple with just one cocktail ring and soft waves--call it the new, more ladylike side of the pop queen. Who do you think wore this McQueen dress better? Cast your votes now, then discuss! Who wore this Alexander McQueen dress better? Photos: Getty Images read more

Another New York Fashion Week behind us, another chance to relive the most jaw-dropping moments in front of us. There was no lack of OMG factor for fall 2013, dolls, and these are the things we're most savoring: 10. Battle of the Joans at Dennis Basso--The Cut reports that Joan Rivers refused to be seated next to Joan Collins in the fur-loving designer's front row. CATFIGHT!? 9. David Beckham, however, seemed more than happy with his seatmate at wife Victoria's show. Fellow attendees tweeted that he cozied up to Anna Wintour--and the two even shared a few giggles! 8. The famous Chanel hula hoop bag was spotted in the wild...on a dude. It's Marie Claire accessories editor Kyle Anderson, and he is not messing around when it comes to courting street style photographers. If this thing doesn't say "TAKE MY PICTURE!", we don't know what does. The dead model is moving. vine.co/v/bvpBp59UA9z— Kurt Soller (@kurtsoller) February 11, 2013 7. Thom Browne's presentation was a macabre mix, featuring blindfolded "corpse" models on cots--though at least one poor guy wasn't quite cooperating. 6. And speaking of unexpected model scenarios, Chloe Sevigny inserted herself into her own presentation for her Opening Ceremony collection. read more

Attention, Oscar nominees: Have you seen the stunning dresses straight off Marchesa's fall 2013 runway? We suggest you get your stylists on the horn, stat. Here are a few of our favorites (oh, and Naomi Watts? That hot pink ball gown needs to be yours. Just sayin'). Which one is your favorite? Any you're hoping to see on the Oscar red carpet in a couple of weeks? Discuss! Photos: FirstView/courtesy of Marchesa read more

If the mere word "pantsuit" conjures up images of Hillary Clinton and your local bank teller, allow cutie pie Julianne Hough to readjust your vision of how chic they can actually be. She visited The Today Show earlier this week in a Diane von Furstenberg version, and here's what we learned: 1. Choose a girly color. This coral-ish hue is everything, don't you think? The same suit in a snoozy gray or black wouldn't have nearly as much impact. 2. Add one fabulous accessory. Her metallic pointy-toe Giuseppe Zanotti pumps are the perfect look-at-me piece to keep things from being too menswear-inspired. 3. Get sexy with your 'do. This just-rolled-outta-bed hairstyle oozes sex appeal, which is a great way to remind people that under all of that tailored fabric, you're still pure woman. What do you ladies make of Julianne's take on the pantsuit? Would you wear it? Discuss! Photo: Getty Images read more

It'll surprise few people that Coco Rocha--famous for giving ridiculously good face, and now, being on The Face--can execute a photobomb like a total pro. She recently paid a visit to Buzzfeed, where she showed their staff exactly how it's done. Consider yourselves educated, dolls: Now go forth and photobomb like a supermodel! read more

Fall 2013's biggest trends have been developing all week long, but they crystallized like magic at this morning's Michael Kors show. He hit on all of the biggies in one chic show: There's no hotter print than houndstooth next season--Tommy Hilfiger, Rag & Bone, and Thom Browne all did it on their runways, and so did Kors. Of course, his version was a twist on the classic print, rendering it ultra-fuzzy and in bright cobalt blue. Leather is everywhere once again--Altuzarra, Alexander Wang, and Phillip Lim, to name a few. It was utilitarian and sporty as heck in these chic iterations. And then there was the peplum, which--newsflash!--refuses to die. Jason Wu and Richard Chai did tailored, elegant versions, and so did MK, offering up pieces for both work and play.

DRESSED reader Emily was lucky enough to get her hands on the most coveted item in the Prabal Gurung for Target collection--this printed sweatshirt, which Racked reports was the first item that sold out. "After seeing it on Zoe Saldana days before the release, I knew I HAD to have it," she writes to us. "I did my research the night before and decided to visit a Target in the outskirt cities of LA - where the collection frenzy would be a bit tamed." She made it out with her prize in hand, and this is how she styled it--adorably! "I kept the rest of the outfit in basic black for the pop of print and color," Emily says. It's a smart decision, considering what a wow statement this digital print is. You could make it work with a black pencil skirt, leather shorts, or a tailored blazer to the same effect. Cute, right? Did any of you gals shop the Prabal Gurung for Target collection? Which pieces did you score? And how do you like Emily's take on it? Share! read more

Photographing Kate Upton in anything other than a bikini is like going to a steakhouse and ordering a salad--unholy!--so it was wise for British brand Accessorize to shoot the bombshell in a series of swimsuits for their new spring ad campaign. Of course, she gets to wear some actual clothes, too, but her signature curves are what really make the shoot sizzle: You can see the rest of the photos over at the Huffington Post. What do you think, ladies? Was she a good choice for this campaign? Do you think she has staying power in the modeling world? Discuss! Photos: courtesy of Accessorize read more

Olivia Palermo has a PhD in putting together outfits, and fashion week is like her dissertation--her serious skills are on full display! So, which front row ensemble did you like best? At Tibi, she tossed a cropped jacket on over printed separates, cinched the waist with a skinny belt, and finished things off with ankle booties. She went for vintage-inspired chicness at Noon by Noor, with a fur vest over a colorblock sweater and a rust-colored maxi skirt. She layered like a pro at Diane von Furstenberg, making all black seem totally unboring by playing with different shapes and textures. The embroidered clutch adds just enough oomph. On the snowiest day of fashion week, she bundled up outside the Monika Chiang presentation in a double-breasted coat, menswear-inspired trousers, and a fur trapper hat. Which of Olivia's looks do you ladies like best? Cast your votes now, then discuss! Which of Olivia's fashion week looks do you like best? Photos: Getty Images read more

You guys, who gives a flip about Brandi vs. Adrienne--seriously, I am so over the manufactured drama between those two. What I am still tuning into the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for, however, is the real estate porn courtesy of Lisa Vanderpump's new house (and the utterly cartoonish fabulousness of Lisa herself). Nestled within her and Ken's cavernous den of opulence is the most baller closet we've seen since Mariah Carey's--last night's episode brought a close-up look of the killer space, and here are a few photos in case you missed it: What, like you don't have 10 Hermés bags and color-coded racks that are merchandised like a boutique? Anyone up for shopping in their own home? Lisa, apparently, who displays her jewelry on an island in the middle of her closet! It's because she can, you guys, and if I could, I would, too. Here's the wide view of the space. Yup, it's the same size as the Greenwich Village studio apartment I spent two years of my life living and working in. Oh, these old things? They're just my handbags...worth an entire college education! Were you guys losing it over Lisa's closet as much as I was read more

File this under "no surprises here": J. Crew's fall 2013 collection was covetable as heck, as was the styling, which had us wondering why we'd never thought of these chic combos before (a leopard baseball cap with a tweed scarf? Duh!). Check out some of our favorite looks, which we're about to start recreating ASAP: read more

Sorry, Richard Simmons, but your endless energy at age 64 ain't nothing compared to Betsey Johnson, seven years your senior and still kicking serious booty--for her fall 2013 show last night, she presented a new activewear collection by leading an aerobics class on the runway! It was the kind of workout we could truly get behind--the cheekily named "BJ kicks A" collection was put through its athletic paces as Betsey had the models lift "weights," which were actually bottles of bubbly, and do stretches with pairs of patterned tights. And yes, you better believe she ended the show with her signature cartwheel... Check out the video, then let us know what you think in the comments! Photos: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images read more

Fur (and faux fur, for the animal lovers out there) has become such a big trend over the past few seasons that it's no longer reserved just for coats and vests. In fact, designers went so crazy for fur at New York Fashion Week, it showed up in some rather unexpected places. At Altuzarra, these seriously oversize mittens had Instagrammers everywhere losing their cool. Are they utterly ridiculous? Duh. Are they going to be photographed by every magazine, ever? Duh. Thakoon's take on fur was this blue two-piece look, consisting of a fur top and skirt. Too much, or just enough? Christian Siriano also did a fur pencil skirt, paired with a chunky black sweater and pointy heels. This fur snood by Prabal Gurung was unexpected for a few reasons, not least of all because it was bright scarlet and had a dose of 50 Shades inspiration in the mix! Alexander Wang's collection was full of fur (remember those boxing gloves?), but our vote for least likely place you'd find it was on, yes, a sweatshirt. We don't advise wearing this baby to the gym. There was yet another sweatshirt--this time, a hoodie--at Herve Leger. This thing is perfect for read more

In a world where celebrities need to be formally told not to show their sideboob on national TV, Carolina Herrera's ultra-feminine fall 2013 collection functions like a style salve, reminding us that ladylike can, indeed, be fabulous. Here are a few of our favorite looks from the collection, all of which your grandmother would certainly approve: Flaunt an hourglass figure: Even if you don't have a quarter of Joan Holloway's curves, Carolina's got the secret for faking it. Try a high-waisted skirt with a nipped waist, plus voluminous shoulders and hemline, to accentuate your silhouette without showing too much. Don't underestimate a good turtleneck: Yes, we said turtleneck. Not only do they solve tons of styling woes (throw a neutral, solid one on with any wild skirt or pants, and you're dressed), but they have a Diane Keaton-like way of making everything seem elegant. Show skin sparingly: There's nothing wrong with a little flash of flesh, but use it in small doses--and balance it out. This keyhole is slim enough to look demure, and the sleeves help balance it out. Put a bow on it: It's the ultimate symbol of femininity, and it works to perk up a menswear-inspired look read more

Leave it to Jennifer Lopez to mock last night's dress code at the Grammy Awards, flaunting "a little shoulder and a little leg," as she cheekily called it. The triple-threat has always loved showing off her hot bod, and that Anthony Vacarello number was just one in a long line of seriously scandalous looks. "They didn't say anything about leg....I thought I was being a good girl!" J.Lo told Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet. As if... Of course, that was nothing compared to the infamous Versace dress from the 2000 Grammys, which Pitbull said "inspired the dress code memo." Yowza. Shazam, lady. And thank heavens for Hollywood Tape! Her gold Marchesa gown from the 2009 Golden Globes didn't just have a seriously plunging neckline, it was totally bare in the back. And what she lacks in fabric, she makes up for in sparkles. So what if Britney Spears already did the nude catsuit thing years before? Her 2011 American Music Awards performance had tongues wagging with its barely-there wardrobe. Before her performance that year, she hit the red carpet in another jaw-droppingly sexy number (hey, she was recently split from Marc Anthony, right?) by Zuhair Murad. If this look read more

What would fashion week be without a little shoe-gazing, amirite? One of our favorite presentations of the week was from Cuban shoe guru Alejandro Ingelmo, who brought his signature sculptural finesse to a hot new crop of fall 2013 heels and loafers. Check 'em out: Which pair is your favorite? I'd die to get my tootsies on, oh, all of them.... Photos: Billy Farrell Agency read more
